Active Directory auditing

By default, Change Auditor for Active Directory audits the Enterprise for changes made to the user, group, and computer objects. However, using the Active Directory auditing tasks you can specify where to conduct the audit (Enterprise, an individual object, and so on) and what to audit, such as the object classes, individual attributes, and even users based on group membership.

In addition, if you have Change Auditor for Active Directory Queries licensed, you can specify Active Directory containers to exclude from AD query auditing.
